About

Alexa Höhn is an Assistant Professor at the Frobenius-Institut für kulturanthropologische Forschung an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, Germany. Her research focuses on archaeobotany, the archaeology of West African cultures, and ancient subsistence practices, as reflected in her recent publications on topics such as the stone age quartz knapping in Senegal and the ecological changes in the Chad Basin. Her work contributes to a deeper understanding of plant origins in West African cuisine and the cultural practices surrounding agricultural and dietary systems across different historical periods.
